There is code in Irv's EuGTK (for GTK1) in main.e that has to do with paths. I have code that parses the command_line() in the EuGTK version of DMAK and exactly the same code in the wxEuphoria version of DMAK (not yet uploaded). It works in the EuGTK version but nothing happens when I click on the binded wxEuphoria version. Maybe the problem is something entirely different. The problem of making wxEuphoria programs clickable on Linux (Windows is no problem) will be a continuing problem again and again until it is solved. Once it is solved, it will be solved for all wxEuphoria programs for all time (I hope). It is necessary to solve this problem in order to put wxEuphoria programs on freshmeat, because people who download stuff from freshmeat usually don't have Euphoria installed and they want to be able to run the binary file by clicking on it.
